1979 Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht – Miles Away

The salon provides a spacious and inviting area for entertaining or relaxing at anchor or dockside. Elegant parquet flooring, a custom credenza, and a thoughtfully designed TV cabinet with lift system add both style and functionality. All 13 salon and galley windows have been upgraded and replaced, enhancing both visibility and comfort. A lower helm station allows for protected navigation when weather conditions are less than ideal.

The galley is well equipped for extended cruising and liveaboard comfort, featuring a full-size double-door refrigerator, four-burner cooktop, full-size microwave/convection oven, coffee maker, and abundant cabinetry. Expansive Corian countertops provide generous preparation space, while a built-in dining area offers comfortable seating for meals onboard.

Accommodations include three staterooms, each with private ensuite heads featuring showers and ceramic tile finishes.

A washer and dryer for added convenience during extended stays aboard is in the V-berth.

The aft deck is open, bright, and ideal for entertaining, offering beautiful views and generous seating. Amenities include a refrigerator, wet bar with sink, and a hi-lo table, creating a perfect setting for relaxing with guests.

The flybridge provides excellent visibility and an enjoyable outdoor helm station equipped with electronics including Garmin navigation equipment, Fusion stereo system, and Furuno autopilot. Comfortable seating allows guests to join the captain and enjoy the ride. Bridge access is provided by a custom stainless-steel ladder with finely crafted wooden steps. A Bimini top installed in 2018 provides shade and protection.

Wide side decks with easy-to-navigate gunnels lead forward to the bow, complemented by beautifully finished wooden railings with custom snap-on covers to preserve their finish and appearance.

Mechanically, the yacht has received significant investment and care. Both engines were completely rebuilt in 2019, providing reliability and peace of mind. The entire vessel has been professionally painted with Awlgrip, giving her a striking, high-quality finish. The transom windows were sandblasted, powder-coated, and reinstalled during the refit.

Additionally, the vessel includes an extensive inventory of spare parts and tools, further enhancing her value and readiness for cruising.

Miles Away is an exceptional example of a classic Hatteras motor yacht, offering the perfect balance of heritage craftsmanship, modern upgrades, and cruising comfort.

Marine 360 is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by United Yacht Sales. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is not intended to convey direct representation of a particular vessel
